The ashes of Camilo Sesto rest in a Alcoy nichewaiting to be transferred to a mausoleum built especially for him in the same cemetery. However, they have passed five years after his death and he’s still waiting.
The controversy is served, but not only because of the delay of worksbut also for the design of what will be their resting place. Geometric shapes, surrounded by a pond with water, with two communicating structures and a metal door with carved vegetation.
The design is approved by Camilo Sesto’s family, but It doesn’t convince fans too muchwhich they claim does not represent the singer-songwriter. “The design is a bit cold, without feelings”said Juan Carlos, one of his followers.
The discontent has reached such a point that signatures are being collected. Supporters compare the mausoleum to a “doghouse” and they ask for something that lives up to Camilo’s greatness.
However, Lourdes Ornelas She wanted to give her opinion: “We did the best we could.” Camilo Sesto’s mother wants to let her son rest in peace and has preferred not to comment until now, asking for respect. Will she manage to calm the controversy?
